Minecraft Xbox 360 retail version delayed

Disc-based version of sandbox game pushed to June 4 so the "very latest content" can be included.

The retail version of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has been delayed in the United States to June 4. Microsoft announced the news today over Twitter, saying the delay was needed so the "very latest content" could be included.

This content was not specified.

Previously, the retail version of Minecraft for the Xbox 360 was slated to launch in the US on April 30.

I'm a little.........no! Really tired of all these minor Minecraft articles that crop up every week or so. We get it. The game is popular. It has sold millions. Will we keep getting articles every time the game is updated too? More than likely. Every time it sells another million? Definitely. Gamespot should really have a dedicated Minecraft tab in between the Xbox 360 and PC tab. Sorry its been a long week. And my underwear is riding high.

@AlexFili Nope, you are not looking at this the right way. Some people may have not heard about it, others might not wanna get a gold account and so on and so forth.

The real deal behind this is people like me that want to buy this physically and gift it to others so this way they have no choice but to install and play with me :D. I'll be buying 5 copies when it finally arrives :D.

@TheSkyrimStatue People like me, who hate online buying/downloading and all the crap that comes with it. Been wanting to play minecraft but couldn't be bothered to get a paypal account or a creditcard.

@Shango4@sargentpsgamer I was going to reply to Flyersfan too, but my girlfriend has a Chromebook which doesn't support Minecraft and I want to play the game with her. PS3, two controllers, one copy of Minecraft, problem solved.

@Heshertonfist@Blowing_for_Ps4 Really grammar is what you bring up. Not even that but punctuation and capitalization in a 10 character post. When you're done picking peanuts out of poop you can post something with a little more substance

@Heshertonfist@Blowing_for_Ps4 Come on man, why'd you have to lose your own argument by bringing up grammar? A clear indication of stupidity is assuming somebody is stupid having not held shift when pressing the first letter...

@JustArtificial@ChiefReaver@TheSkyrimStatue As pointed out...not EVERYONE has there box connected to Live. I didn't for nearly 2 years. And hard copies will always be better than digital...they can't be taken away from you.

@JustArtificial@ChiefReaver@TheSkyrimStatue Sounds like you think all gamers don't have friends. you can still load these pages with dial up but quite long actually. If web pages are long for them, how long would it take to download minecraft?
